FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

Welcome once again to Blog d’Elisson’s Friday Random Ten, the weekly feature in which I post a random assortment of Choons straight outta the Little White Choon-Box d’Elisson.

Let’s see what Old Uncle Elisson is listening to today...

A Different City - Modest Mouse

Anthem - Part 2 (Powaqqatsi) - Philip Glass

Most people remember this as the theme music from the movie The Truman Show.

Romance - Bobby Slayton

Matchbox - The Beatles

Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles

Back To The Family - Jethro Tull

My telephone wakes me in the morning -Have to get up to answer the call.So I think I’ll go back to the familyWhere no one can ring me at all.Living this life has its problemsSo I think that I’ll give it a break.Oh, I’m going back to the family’Cos I’ve had about all I can take.

Master’s in the counting houseCounting all his money.Sister’s sitting by the mirror -She thinks her hair looks funny.And here am I thinking to myselfJust wond’ring what things to do.

I think I enjoyed all my problemsWhere I did not get nothing for free.Oh, I’m going back to the family -Doing nothing is bothering me.I’ll get a train back to the cityThat soft life is getting me down.There’s more fun away from the familyGet some action when I pull into town.

Everything I do is wrong,What the hell was I thinking?Phone keeps ringing all day longI got no time for thinking.And every day has the same old wayOf giving me too much to do.

Skotshne - The Klezmer Conservatory Band

Beljigiye - Maritu Legesse

From the album Yebati Nigist, which, for all I know, is how you say “Buttloads of Hummus” in Amharic.
